Calculating Meeting points
It would be great that if Waze can help the customers to advise a meeting place for people who are trying to carpool.
Basically, its taking 3 routes, if there are two participants are trying to get from their places to the same destination. .
1. Person 1's route from place A to place B.
2. Person 2's route from place C to place B.Then, Waze can calculate the most close meeting points fro Person 1 and Person 2 to meet and get to place B.

Waze for motorbike
The best functionality for the biker would be to develop a "Biker Mode" which not consider the traffic jam to calculate the best route.
5 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.

Routes requiring a vignette by default
Make it more clear that Waze is changing the route to prevent taking routes that require a special vignette. Or make it chose routes requiring a vignette by default and give the option to disable it. Waze should at least propose the routes containing highways even though they require a vignette.

Routes avoiding London Congestion Charge
Routes avoiding London's Congestion Charge option would be very handy.

Consider real-time & historic traffic patterns for all appropriate routes prior to proposing best route
Real-time traffic patterns for longer journeys are of limited use. Further, in the case of short journeys where there is a vast difference between on- and off-peak traffic patterns, it would be very helpful if the app could consider historic conjestion zones over the period of a few days or months.

when is rush hour?
when I choose a destination, It would be wonderful if Waze would tell me when is rush hour on that route (based on past data) so I can plan ahead.

Bring back auto start route
My Waze is automatically starting when I start driving.
In the past it would check my calendar, if an appointment wit location is available it offers this location. Otherwise it would offer work/home as destination. After some time it started the navigation.Currently Waze is still offering a destination. But I have to manually start navigating (which could be a huge fine)
I saw some old complaints about this function. But please bring it back with a setting for the people who don't like it.

"Check on" existing planned drives
The new "planned drives" feature is wonderful, but each time I try to see if the suggested departure route has changed, it creates an unwanted duplicate planned drive.

Android Auto add stop
Can we get waze to show how off route a location is to your current route on Android Auto? This feature works great on the normal app but it's missing from android auto.

A professional tool for planning a training route by instructors, examiners,
The basic element of the practical driving test in Great Britain is independent driving for 15-20 minutes. Accurate route planning would be an excellent tool for training driving license candidates by professional instructors. Currently, no provider offers such a tool. If the company is interested, I can propose solutions. Anyone who proposes such a tool can count on increased interest in maps in every country with navigation in its examination system. Darius

Preimptive Traffic Notification - Please read it is not just what it seems by headline.
Preemptive traffic notifications! Sounds Alarm, chirp, chime, text w.e. the user selects when normal route would be jammed BEFORE leaving their home/spot. You have the info and capability to recognize patterns in people’s lives. If they leave at 7:30 to get on a bus, subway, truckers cranking up, no matter who it is, Waze could see that their normal route is delayed 2 hours and let them know BEFORE they have left. Think of the possibilists. People with flexible schedules, Truckers, Subway goers… Repeating but flexible route drivers (delivery etc.)… lots of people benefit so much! Even me, because I…

Start an Apple Watch support or show the notification for route
An extension for the mobile waze app or a new app development would be not in the plan. At least the notifications would be great.

Ensure that re-routing doesn't add time to trip
I have had multiple times where I have chosen to take an alternate, parallel road rather than the one Waze wants me to go (such as I-295 in NJ versus NJ Turnpike, or I-95 Express Lane vs. I-95 in Maryland). In these instances, rather than direct me to the next interchange to continue on the planned route from an upcoming access point, it wanted me to double back and reverse course to the original access point, which would've added 20 minutes to my trip, when just continuing on the alternate route would have only changed ETA by 0-1 minute.

Heads up
Warning of reason for new route: when traveling, we sometimes receive notices of alternate routes, that we then may accept of reject. However, sometimes, we simply are directed to a new route without any explanation or reason. We have found that ignoring the direction can result in significant delays. Why does Waze not give a heads up with an explanation for suggesting a new route in ALL circumstances?

“Getting fuel/food” option if leaving the route, instead of being nagged to return to it
We just finished a two way cross country journey between Colorado and New Jersey. As usual we used Waze, and as always it was great. However, whenever we pulled off the interstate for any reason we were, of course, nagged with directions to get back onto it. I thought it would be really useful if a box could pop up where you could choose “stopping for fuel” or food, or rest break, so that the app would just pause directions

Improve Reroute Efficiency
I find that when I'm driving my morning or afternoon commute, Waze isn't automatically updating my route as highway traffic evolves. While driving, I find myself repeatedly having to shut the app off and on to get the refreshed data to find the fastest route. I don't believe this is due to my cellular service, as I've performed speed tests at various points along my commute and achieved 20 mbps down and 5 up. If you could work on improving real time route efficiency based on quickest time to destination, your Wazers would be grateful.

Routes
Need more routes was going from Wisconsin to Joplin Mo. your new system wanted to send me though Illinois. I didn’t want to go to Illinois wanted to go though Iowa.

We liked multiple routes and shortest distance the two thing you ruin!!!

Map should prioritize route ahead on screen
In addition to "Keep map north up" on or off (the only options I see currently), I'd like an option that does an offset to navigation direction (map north up "off") where it tries to fit more of the road ahead on the screen.
I regularly drive curvy roads and it shows me no warnings ahead on the highway when the road just curves left or right straight off the screen. What I'm suggesting would not keep North up, but keep the road ahead up and on-screen more often. This is probably more helpful on highways than in towns, so…

swing bridge
Hello. make the possibility of building the route, taking into account the bridges. St. Petersburg (Russia), it is true. in winter bridges are not diluted, but the program thinks that the bridges are divorced and build a detour route. Thank you for your program :)
